The matriarch of the family, BlondenaB. "Bunny" Barden 95, a longtime resident of Winchester, NH, passed away peacefully, on Tuesday, October 31, 2017, surrounded in love with her family at her side, at the Applewood Care and Rehabilitation Center in Winchester.

One of thirteen children of Paul and Mary (Trela) Jablonski, Blondena was proudly welcomed into the world on November 13, 1921 in Turners Falls, Massachusetts. She grew up in Turners Falls and was a 1937 graduate of Turners Falls High School.

A resident of Winchester since 1940, Bunny enjoyed being an active part of her community and church. She was a longtime parishioner of St. Stanislaus Church in Winchester, and a member of the Winchester Ashuelot Catholic Society. Bunny was also a life member of the Winchester Minatt-Rivers VFW Post #44 Auxiliary.

For 18 years, she worked as an inspector with the former Homestead Woolen Mills in Swanzey.

Her greatest pride was that of her family. She loved the family gatherings, especially around the holidays, and she would quite often just sit and listen, taking in all of the conversations that surrounded her.

Bunny had a creative side to her as well. She was an avid crotchetier, knitter and creator of all different types of ceramic pieces. She also enjoyed a rousing game of bingo, shopping with her daughter, and traveling to the beaches of Maine.

A memorial mass of Christian burial will be celebrated on Friday, November 10, 2017 at 10:00AM in St. Stanislaus Church, Richmond Road, Winchester. Burial will follow in the Evergreen Cemetery, Richmond Road, Winchester.
